Active Directory Authentication. Active Directory authentication allows users to log in to SGD if they have an account in an Active Directory domain. Active Directory authentication offers users a faster, more secure, and more scalable authentication mechanism than LDAP authentication. By using the Kerberos authentication protocol, SGD can securely authenticate any user against any domain in a forest. Active Directory authentication is disabled by default.
